I look atrocious. Please make me over.

[IAmRubyLennox]

In a nutshell:

I work mainly from home but have to see people in a work context a couple of times a week.

Winter work wardrobe: jersey dresses & opaque tights / jersey tunics and leggings, both options with knee high boots. Thinnish cardigans if it's a bit nippy.

School run / weekend wardrobe: these jeans, vest tops, the same cardigans. Converse or ballet pumps.

Feel like I'm in a deep rut - what else could I try?

And what in God's name do I wear on my legs and feet for work now it's not really knee boot weather?

I'm 5'11, size 12-ish, skinny legs, no bust to speak of but 3 x post-partum tummy. Oh, and I'm 35.

All questions, comments or observations gratefully received.

go White Stuff I suppose

How about Mint Velvet?

I have the same problem with footwear because I hate wearing heels to work. But there are quite a lot of wedges around at the moment.

What about wide leg trousers with some smart bright/print ballet pumps and a fitted top lke this or a short sleeve knit for work? Add jewellery/scarves at will

And for the school run what about a print skirt or a maxi skirt with flip flops or sandals and plain block colour vest tops?

Thanks, all of you .

I love the wide leg trousers that FauxFox linked to, so long as I could get something like that long enough, I'm a 34" inside leg.

And I hadn't really thought about wedge heels to wear with skirts and the like. With bare, tanned legs, I assume, not any form of tights. I'm not especially good at the whole fake tanning malarkey, hence the over-reliance on jeans and opaques wherever possible!

Thanks for your replies.

Pale is Ok.

Long tall Sally is your new friend

red top

scarf

shoes

TADAAAAAAAAAA!

casual shoes

wrap dress

this skirt would go with the red top I linked to earlier

ahem.....

Just WRT trouser length problem, I find that quite often Gap trousers are long (I'm a 33" inside leg and sometimes they are too long for me). Same goes for French Connnection.

oohh, more great suggestions, thank you very much.

I always forget about Long Tall Sally, years ago when the longest trouser you could get on the high street was about 30", I used to bemoan the lack of LTS in my town - this was before internet shopping was invented.

The skirt is particularly nice, collision.

(sorry not to be back on sooner, been busy applying for jobs, doesn't it take aaaaaages?)
